and we need to shut down the airport immediately. 36 flights were canceled and 201 delayed at a Japanese airport over the weekend after a pair of scissors went missing in a store near the boarding gates.

security checks at the airport, the domestic terminal, were suspended for about two hours, leaving hundreds of travelers temporarily stranded. I would be so angry. There were huge bottlenecks and passengers in the departure lounge were forced to retake security checks. Authorities tried to locate the missing scissors, which they never did find that day. and they after eventually they said, ah, go ahead, go ahead and resume the flights. We guessed that it's okay.

Well, then the next morning, the people at the store said, I found them. They're here. They're right here in the store. I know, man, I'm sorry. And the airport said, well, don't tell anyone yet,

because we don't want people to know. And so then on Monday, they decided, well, we ought to let people know that, yeah, we found them. They found them in the store. And, you know, we're sorry. Sure, it's one of the busiest airports in Japan. But sorry, the airport safety is first and foremost. and we just wanted to make sure that everything was fine.

And it is, it is. So have a good day. And thank you for flying here. We appreciate you. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So I see a thread on X from a Ole Lehmann at Ole Otef. O-L-E-D-O-T-E-T-H.

And it says here that I'm European. I recently visited the USA for the first time since 2018, hitting up Las Vegas and New York City. What I witnessed left me stunned. Fifteen American oddities, I still can't wrap my head around. And he gives us 15 things on his thread. In the U.S.,

Money is an open topic, unlike the taboo it has in Europe. I notice that people are excited to talk about their work and financial success without any negative vibes. As someone who likes these topics, I felt freeing to chat about it with other like-minded people. Oh, I'm not special. Number two. Fast food was disappointing. I was so excited to try American fast food after watching tons of YouTube reviews. But man, in and out was such a letdown.

The fries tasted like cardboard, and the whole experience was just, meh. He gives it two out of ten. He went to the wrong in and out burger. I'm just saying. Number three, how are you? Is thrown around too casually.

I may have to agree with that. As a German, I am not used to exchanging pleasantries with strangers. such as cashiers like that. It feels kind of fake to ask a question that no one really wants an honest answer to. But I guess it's part of the American social norms. Yeah, nobody wants that answer.

They just want to, how are you means, hey, I'm going to check you out now. They don't actually care. I mean, we've joked about it on Pat forever. I mean, that's, you know, people say, how are you? How's your day going so far? You really want to know, or are you just asking to be for it kind? I mean, nobody really cares.

But it's a good conversation piece in America. I mean, I love it because I can start talking to people about, you know, fantastic is how it's going. Never better. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed to tell you how good I have it. Okay? So why don't you just check me out?

Which we get less of, by the way, because of the self-checkout, the lanes that they've made us go through. but that's another story. Tipping in America feels like a broken system. I don't get why taxes aren't included in the prices, and then you're expected to add an extra 18 to 20% on top. Also, tips for basic service like coffee order seems extremely excessive to me. Yeah, it is.

And we've talked about that at length on this show and how the computer screens ask for a tip and how you can, I've talked about this, where they, if you order and you're paying for your order before you get your food at some drive-through places,

Sonic, for example. And you know, they type, you type your order in and you give them the order and then it comes up whether you want to pay cash or a card and,

you know, a push card. And I've always started giving the change as a tip. It doesn't, I think, it has worked. It's been a while since I've been to a Sonic now because I've really cut down on my chocolate shake intake. But I will say that there for a while I was going to Sonic for a chocolate shake quite often.

That was 50 pounds ago. Anyway, I found that if I give a tip, even if it's just a change back, just give the change as a tip, I think that it shows up on the screen that you gave a tip was given. so that I get my order faster. I got the shakes faster. They got the order correct and any other items that I get because I want it in a carrying case.

I would want a straw and a spoon. It's all I'm just saying. So I believe that if that happens and I know that's not the argument, the argument is why I shouldn't be giving you a tip you haven't even done anything for the tip yet. I know. But that having been said,

I just think that it works. works out better if you just give them the change. You don't have to give them 20%, 30%, you just give them the change back. So that it shows up that you gave a tip. Now you're going to get your service a little bit better. He continues. Olai continues.

The American Dream is still going strong from what I can tell. Is it? Well, you went to Vegas in New York. There's a huge desire to innovate and create a better future. I heard a lot of conversations about world-changing ideas, startup ventures, and the pursuit of progress. I honestly loved this aspect of America, and you should. Americans are so much louder than Europeans.

Like 10 times louder! I don't understand this. It seems so unnecessary when I'm right next to you. The constant noise was jarring and confusing for someone like me who's used to a more reserved conversation. We just want to be sure you understand what we're

telling you there, OLA, okay? Stepping into a casino for the first time was wild. I couldn't believe my eyes watching people chain smoke and lose money on slot machines. It was both fascinating and super sad.

Everything is designed to hijack your dopamine, even when you know better. Yeah, that's the American way. get used to it, OLA. He continues. Obesity is off the charts. Okay, so I want you calm down. All right.

This is America. I was shocked by how many severely overweight people I saw in the U.S. It felt dystopian. But at the same time, I also noticed a ton of extremely fit people. It's like America is the land of extremes when it comes to physical health and appearance. You need to calm down.

Okay, even if people are overweight, they're still beautiful. And even if you're from Germany, we don't allow fat shaming. Okay? He continues. Compared to Europeans, Americans are super outgoing and talkative.

They'll strike up conversations with strangers like it's no big deal, which can be both refreshing and a bit overwhelming. Yeah, he doesn't like it when you say, how's your day, how you doing? He doesn't like it when you talk too loud, and he doesn't like to strike up conversations with strangers. This openness is a defining aspect of American culture

that really stood out to me. Yeah, that's why we're America. The lights are always on, says Olai in America, which is so different from the energy-saving habits I'm used to in Europe and Asia. Yeah, we're America. All right. I guess the 24-7 brightness

comes from America's wealth and love for convenience. It creates a feeling of constant abundance I haven't experienced elsewhere. Because at least for now, we have that constant abundance. Now, it seems to be going away. Some people in charge want to drive America from that constant feeling of abundance. Now, we've had it too good for too long. We need to knock you down a peg.

He continues, everything is supersized from drinks to cars. At the Fontainebleau in Vegas, my small-died Coke was nearly a leader. drinks are consistently 50% larger than Europe with no options to downsize the same goes for food portions and vehicles everything is just bigger in the U.S., I guess. Yeah, it is. You're welcome. Trying to eat healthy in America was an annoying challenge.

I was shocked by how expensive and hard-defined nutritious options were compared to Europe. Back home, I can easily grab a healthy meal without breaking the bank. But in the U.S., it felt like a treasure hunt. American customer service is super attentive and friendly compared to Europe. I assume it's because of the whole tipping culture,

as well as the fact that the U.S. is more consumer-oriented society. Servers really go the extra mile to make sure customers are happy, which he said, I enjoyed. Yeah, it's America. Although Americans would disagree with you on that, but I guess we're just used to it. Flashiness and status symbols are everywhere. I saw way more designer watches, luxury cars, and, well, you're in Vegas. It's obvious how American culture places a high value on financial success and all the material stuff that comes with us.

And he ends it with overall. I was really inspired by the risk-taking spirit of American culture. Yeah, that's what we are, Americans. people here aren't afraid to change the world, even if it means leaving their comfort zones. It's a stark contrast to the more risk-averse mindset in Europe, where people tend to play it safe. I think it stems from the history of America.

The U.S. was built by immigrants. Yes, people that wanted to leave your country. They wanted to come here and get away from your people. and families to sail across the treasurer's oceans in search of a better life. And we found it, at least we believe we had. I feel like we get that from all immigrants. Maybe not all.

I mean, people are coming to this country. That's why they come to the country. That's why they come to the United States. That's why I came to America. Chris Cruz, yes, thank you. That's why I got on the boat. Our man on the street is no, you're not a lot. the street working for us today. Not in the street, not today. Yeah, okay. That's why I got on the boat

on the big old car with the flotation devices and we've sailed to America. You came here from Puerto Rico. Yeah, we got on a boat and boom on the coast of Miami. I mean, that's better than the people in Cuba are just hopping on tires and floating across the water. It's stupid. Get on a car. Dummy. Thank you. Yeah. But that German, right, that's a German person. Yes, yeah. Olia layman. Yeah. I have a foreign change student that is from German. North of Germany. Oh, wow, there you go. And I thought you were talking to her

because she has said everything. Really? And it's very interesting. I don't see it because I am that loud American obnoxious. Like, that's who you are. Yeah. Right? And I'm having a very difficult time explaining to her that it's not rude

to be or do things the American way. Because if you don't do it here, for example, She's in school and some of her classes are too dumb for her. Okay. I believe that. I'm sure she's not. She may be complaining about why are the United States schools so dumb. Yes, that was one of the complaints.

Yeah. So I told us, well, then go a level higher and she said, well, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to disrupt. I'm like, well, here's the thing. You tell the teacher it's my education, I need something challenging and take to the minister. and they'll change your classes. And they did. They gave her a difficult class because she just went basics

and she realized, wait, I already did this two years ago. I'm way ahead. I'm way ahead. That's pretty amazing, though. That is really interesting. So. But I just wish the people would not

talk so loud. Okay. But the one thing that she's learning in the five weeks that she's been here so far is that the American way is too big. And that was struck out to me.

Well, that's too big. And again, she's in Texas. Yeah. Everything's bigger. here, I'll get that. But it was very interesting to see the culture shock of, you know, we'll go to Walmart and she's like, oh, this is too much. Let's go to Kroger then, right? That's too much. Because, and that was too much. Okay, let's go to the bodega. Well, we don't have that here, right? The closest bodega can get just H-EB. And that's somebody. Well, that's not really true.

And that's not really true. Exactly. So it was very interesting to see, you know, and then. Yeah, the days of the corner stores and all that. That's missing from America. It's there. But 7-Eleven is not going to carry what I need. It's no longer a convenience store. It's a beer store. Yeah, beer, cigarettes gas. Yeah. Beer, cigarettes, gas.

Let's move on. So it was one of those. Or nicotine. Okay, I got you. Okay. I don't smoke. Okay. I put Zen in my mouth.

Okay, I got it. You still smoking. Shut up. But I agree with that German. It is very interesting in us as American and you're very loud. Like I said, I went to you to the movie theaters. You would not stop talking in the movie theaters. That's not true.

Okay. not true i may have commented a few times through a movie if you all know the stereotype of the black lady at the movie theaters that's not that is absolutely not true jeffy was talking to me that's not true i'm not loud i have comments i do comment during the movie think about it what am i suppose no one knows that joke except for me well they can come along for the ride oh oh people on the other side so i will say this watching a movie with you especially was three hours long, it's like listening to Chew and the Fide podcast. Because all the quotes, you can quote me on that, oh, think about it.

My son still tells the story of when we went to see The Joker, the first one. And we're planning to see the second one. Yeah, we got to see October 4th. I'm ready. So we go to the movie and at the end, and I'm going to, the spoiler alert at the end, the Joker shoots the talk show host, who's Robert Niro? Yep. And I'm like, yes! Yes! Finally, I'm clapping! I mean, the whole theater is quiet and shocked that this murder happened. I'm cheering. Robert De Niro is dead. I'm happy.

There are a few cases of it now and it's popping up all over and it seems to be, it seems to be popping up all over. I don't know that that's actually true, but they certainly are telling us that we need to be prepared for bird flu. And many of the, many of the state fairs are stopping having the actual milking event.

The Disney lawsuit, remember we talked about it last week

where the plaintiff, this Jeffrey Piccolo, alleges that his late wife suffered a fatal allergic reaction from a meal she ate at a park restaurant in 2023. And they kept telling her, I mean, the story talked about how they kept, the waiter said, ah, it's fine.

It doesn't have any of the flags on it. Ah, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Although it wasn't fine, according to Mr. Piccolo. So Disney said, hey, we were going to get out of this. There's no way he can't sue us

because he signed up for Disney. plus a few years ago, and that requires all users to arbitrate all disputes with the company. Wait, what? Oh, and by the way, he got tickets to Epcot through our website,

which again shields the company from a lawsuit. And people are like, what? Is that, that can't stand up. Well, we know now that in a statement, Josh Diomaro, the chairman of Disney experiences,

you know him, you love him, said the company was waiving its right to arbitration. So he wasn't involved in the beginning. It was, I'm sure it was some of the underlings that were fighting this. And he realized what a terrible thing this was, how bad it makes the company look. So he said, at Disney,

we strive to put humanity above all other considerations. Do you? Do you? With such unique circumstances as the ones in this case, we believe this situation warrants a sensitive approach, uh-huh, to expedite a resolution for the family who have experienced such a painful loss. As such, we've decided to waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed to court.

Yeah, we're not going to settle, and we're not going to say, hey, how about here's a million dollars and go away? We're not going to do that. because they're only asking for, I think, I think with arbitration, they're asking for mental pain and suffering, loss of companionship and production, loss of income,

medical and funeral expenses. But I thought, I don't know what, the Florida's Wrongful Death Act, it's really worded weird, so I don't know if they can get more than 50,000, or less than 50,000. I'm not real sure how that works.

But Disney, I'm surprised that we're going to still take it to court. Well, I think why don't we just settle? Why don't we just give the family? We don't have to admit anybody's wrong. No admission of wrong. Just here's some money. And please go and try to live your life as best you can without your mother or your wife or your daughter.

But that isn't the case. Anyway, they've waived the arbitration, and they're going to go to court. It will be interesting to see how the court progresses with this case.

on the Friday game show What's the lie? I did see that I saw an email come across that they're talking about the most popular game shows in America. And I looked at the list and the top ten does not have What's the Lie?

Thank you. I don't know if they know this or not, but people are calling it America's favorite game show. So I don't know what their deal is. They're saying like Jeopardy and Family Feud and American Ninja Warrior Wheel of Fortune, Celebrity Family Feud, the floor, the price is right.

deal or no deal, celebrity, jeopardy, and press your luck are the top 10 game shows that people are searching for. There must be a mistake, because what's the lie should be on that list? I mean, I see where they claim that the Democratic National Convention has brought in 20 million viewers

across 13 networks on its first night. Okay, maybe. Maybe. I mean, it's been terrible. Just terrible. So I doubt that those numbers will stay as strong as the first night. But, you know, it edged out the Republican National Conventions, 18.1 million a night for, well, I think that 18.1 was an average of the entire week. So we'll see how that turns out when we get to the entire average of the DNC.

But, oh, the DNC, yeah. Hey, Thursday, I told you, today's the 21st, Wednesday, the 21st of October, 2024. Thursday, tomorrow night, you're not going to want to miss Blaze News tonight is going live. And commercial free at 9 p.m. I'm guessing that's 9 p.m. Eastern, so it would be 8 p.m. Central or whatever time zone you're in. They're going to go commercial free with a roast session to follow the, you know, DNC. They've got, you know, Glenn's going to show up, Dave Landau, Alex Stein, Sarah Gonzalez.

I'm sure they're going to drag stew in there. Bridget Fetticey's going to show up. And I guess they're going to discuss how many cocktails Kamala's had. She's been staying pretty sober lately, which has been a problem because she's got to be miserable not being able to get drunk. So maybe if she can get through the speech tomorrow night and then she can start hammering down another fifth of vodka.

Anyway, it's going to be a wonderful disaster, both at the DNC and at Blaze News tonight. So catch it 9 p.m. sharp, commercial free, with a roast session following Blaze News tonight. So mark your calendars, and just be ready for a fun evening following the DNC on Blaze News tonight. All right, let's go to the break room.

I need something cold to drink desperately. It's finally over. She finally did it. You knew you were going to get it from Ben. J-Lo has filed for divorce. We knew it was inevitable. But she finally filed for divorce from Ben. And she did it on the anniversary of their wedding.

I know. Ouch. And she did it without an attorney. She filed pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney. She lists the date of separation as April 26. Now, the couple got married in Vegas on July 16th, but today, August 20th, is very significant because that's when they had their big traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia. And they brought everyone into the house. and they were you know they had everybody there credible so she says in her docks uh that they're they did or she doesn't say in her docs that there is a pre-up so everyone assumes that there's not a pre-up which is really weird i mean you think that they would these two would have a pre-up i mean they're both they both have a few dollars uh they've spent a few dollars while they would be married they've they bought that they bought the what the 20 the 60 million dollar dump and then they sold that and then Ben bought another

I don't know 20 million dollar dump in Brentwood and she's out looking for some other place the other trailer to live in who knows but in the last couple years they've worked I mean Ben starred in air and hypnotic

he produced the instigators which was okay they just wrapped filming the accountant two I mean the first one was okay and J-Lo did Shotgun Wedding, The Mother, This is Me Now,

Atlas, I mean, they both made some money in the last couple years. So we'll see, I'm sure that they both just want to be done with each other. And I mean, that's why Ben, Ben was off filming the accountant too. And he was, you know,

taking care of a little accountant-to business while he's on the set. You can count on that. And so that's why we hadn't heard from him or he was going to get to the filing. But J-Lo beat him to the punch. So this is her fourth marriage. This is Ben's second. And according to the documents, Jennifer waived espousal support and is asking the judge to deny Ben such support as well.

Make her pay, Ben. Make her pay. For the kids. For the kids. You don't have any kids together. But you have kids with what's her face. And she has kids with what's her face. Make her pay. Make her pay. Make her pay. There are not many children together, but oh well. So it'll be fun. It'll be fun to see what actually transpires in the coming months now that the divorce papers are officially filed. And look, it's not easy.

I don't wish divorce of anyone, and I mean that. Divorce sucks. It is not fun. You can quote me on that. Even if it's, you know, amicable. It's still not fun. and you know you just have to you just have to rip each other's heart out

every time you see each other and it's tough but so when you see Ben out taking care of a little Ben Ben Ben Benz and J-Lo hitting the streets in New York Jenny on the block don't start with me Jenny, stop put that down I can't I just I can't but if she's out there Jenny on the block

and you know that she's Jenny on the block and you know that she's Jenny on the block. All right, get Cruz back in here. Is he still at the building? Because I'm certainly not doing a man on the street report for me today. That's for sure. Well, hold on. Before you do that, I am going on the streets, March 31st.

Nope. August 31st. See, the thing is I was talking about today. Okay, well, it's not all the time that you send me out first of all. First of all, you don't send me out all the time. But you're actually sending me to Washington, D.C. I know. You're going to be doing a man on the street.

I'm going to do actual man on the street report. Even though before I was there too, but this time I'm bringing video evidence because people don't believe me that I've been all over the world. This is getting. We would not come up with. Thank you. We would not come up with something like that. I'm not that smart to do what you think I'm doing. So I see her, I see your girl.

I was thinking about you this morning when I saw this story. Alex Cooper. Your girl, Alex Cooper, call her daddy podcast. Yeah. Who was, I mean, she signed with Spotify. Well, before that, she was with the president. She was bar stool. Okay.

Okay. So bar stool. She was making nothing, which is why she went to Spotify. She broke up with her girl. Right. Because when we talked to her here on this show, it was both of them, right? It was both. Yeah.

Okay. I remember that. And there was in some, you know, it was who can be the better whore? Right. They were showing their breasts at the games and all that. Oh, no. That's somebody else. That's Rose.

I get my breast confused. Never mind. Go ahead. so do I but that's not her she would never do that so calm the hell down but call her daddy from

Barstool was who was the better whore and that was the compare notes right okay and it would form a few more perspective then they broke because the other girl went with Max she started dating an executive at HBO

Max and HBO Max was supposed to give her a show it did not work out. So call her daddy became, call her daddy with Alex. With Alex Cooper. Cooper. She takes it to Spotify because they sued a president. And president said, no, we're not giving me more money. I don't care. So she inks the deal with Spotify for 60 million, $60 million. Which it was amazing that Spotify took a chance with her. Well, now, I was thinking about you this morning, when she just signed a new deal. I know. She jumped ship and went to Sirius XM. But this is a multi-year contract. For a reported $125 million.

Yeah, so if it's multi-year, so it's still only not much of a raise. No. If she got $60 million for a year, well, 2021, that's $30 million a year. Okay. This is two years, that's $60. She did get a raise.

She doubled her money. Yeah, she did. Good for her. But another source has come out and said, that's not true. Oh. It is not for $125 million. Oh.

Calm down. It's closer to $100,000. I'm in 100 million. So now I've, my insiders. Never mind then. My insiders have reached out to Cooper and Sir sex, M, and they both declined to comment. Oh, no.

So, interesting. So somewhere between 100, I mean, it might even be 90 million. I think, and that was one of the thing is, I don't think she's worth, you know, for example, 60 million for a three-year exclusive podcast deal with Spotify. I don't think she's worth that. because I will say this. I don't know that she generated any buzz for Spotify.

She didn't because they lost the touch. It was, like I said, the entire podcast is who can be the better of war. Yeah, it was them. Right? It was them too. Now, she took a break. She found herself. Oh, that's good.

She started dating seriously. Oh. So now the podcast is, this is who I was. Oh. It's no longer this is who. I am. Now, a person like me love those kind of story. Because you should not be a whore. You should just find a man or a woman and do your thing and live life. Oh, shut up. But now they call her daddy. It's not working. Right. Right. Because I can't call. Now we're going to

serious and we're just going to preach this is who I was. Yes. And that's what it's not working. I've been following her for a minute now. It's not working for her sweetheart.

Who died today?

Who died today? Maria Aranis Marrera, the world's oldest known person, has died at the age of 117. Now, they don't say cause a death. It couldn't have been that. Well, because she was 117. But it could have been. It could have been. We don't know.

So she was born on March 4th, 1907 in San Francisco, moved to Catalonia when she was eight. At eight, she witnessed major historical events. She had two world wars. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. She became the oldest known survivor of COVID-19 at 113. so she is a survivor of COVID she could have been vaxed

very well so she was active on social media was she as super avia Catalana or super Catalan grandma and according to this story she amassed 19,000 followers I

okay sure she was a social media guru there are approximately seven a rest in peace Maria Brennis-Morera dead at the age of 117. You know, there are approximately 720,000 centarians now. Those are aged 100 or older, for those of you that don't know what that is. That's globally, 108,000 in the U.S.

Super Centurians. Those aged 110 or older are rare. Not a lot of people. I mean, there's not a lot of people. we'll make it to 100, but you make it to 100, you're lucky to make it to that 110 mark. They're with about 250 to 300 worldwide. 60 to 70 known in the U.S.

Mara credited her longevity to enjoying nature, good company, avoiding toxic people, luck and genetics. There's a lot more to do with genetics. No, she doesn't say, well, I guess that would be, you know, enjoying nature. I'll stop. Some studies suggest that the maximum human lifespan could be between 120 and 150.

The oldest verified person to have ever lived died in 1997, right? That was, he was 122. The current oldest living person is now 116-year-old, Tamiko Ituka from Japan. Now, we have 114-year-old here in Texas, who is the oldest person in the United States as well. And she just celebrated her 115th birthday. So she lives down there in Houston with her 94-year-old daughter.

Oh, man. You imagine. Every time I read something like that, it makes me think that you just been waiting for the, what's mom going to leave you in the will? mom's not leaving you anything on the will okay she's still alive and you're 90 wow that's uh anyway but nobody cares about the will they don't want mom to die what am i saying and i don't know that they've actually uh consider him dead now he's still just missing but yesterday we talked about the british

tech tycoon mike lynch uh who was missing along with six other tourists after his super yacht was hit by, you know, a tornado water spout and sank off the coast of Sicily. And I guess we haven't pronounced him dead. They're still missing. And, you know, they rescued, you know, there was 15 people, I think they rescued. And there were, you know, other people that were on the yacht. But he's still missing. Now, I was reminded from a listener, Michael, who emailed me saying, Remember, he just was acquitted of criminal charges by a jury in San Francisco back in June, which vindicated him after a 12-year legal battle over the $11 billion sale of his firm autonomy to Hewlett-Packard. So he thought he got away with it.

Maybe not. Maybe not. Speaking of rich guys, I see, we talked the other day about the Starbucks CEO, the new Starbucks CEO who's coming in. And Brian Nicole from Chip-O-Lay. And what a deal he got for, you know, signing on. He gets the signing bonus. Remember, he has just the million six salary, which is nothing really, because he has potential bonuses of, you know, seven. to $8 million and equity awards up to $23 million a year

and so it's a hybrid contractual arrangement. Well, now we find out that not only has he got this sweet deal, but as part of this hybrid deal, his home in Newport Beach, California, yeah, I can't move

to Seattle. I mean, I love Starbucks and sure Starbucks is the, you know, I mean Seattle is the home of Starbucks and all of that, but I can't relocate my family and everybody from Newport Beach, California. You know what you need to do is just give me a jet? Just give me a corporate jet,

and I'll fly back and forth. In fact, here's what I'll do for you, all right? I'll come in to the Seattle office at least three days a week. Okay, I'll run the joint from the office in Seattle at least three days a week. The rest of the time, I got to be in Newport Beach. I can't be in Seattle. Okay.

No problem. That's a good gig. That is a good gig. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious wolf throw,

for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous

for less. Last week, we had the news that Subway had called a hasty meeting. We're talking about the sandwich shop subway with franchisees of its 19,000 in American sandwich shops as, you know, apparently they're grappling with faltering sales and profits. Well, yeah.

Ask yourself this. And I mean this in all seriousness, when's the last time you went to a subway? I tried to think about this when I was reading this story today, and I thought, I don't remember. I think I took my kids to a subway, I don't know, a few months ago. I just haven't been to a subway in quite some time. And even though I know Patrick Mahomes tells me I should, I don't. Yeah, I've gone to Jersey Mike's multiple times in the time since I've been to Subway. But, you know, anyway, they got together.

They had their big phone call and they wanted to figure out what to do. Well, then yesterday, I see where they've decided that they're rolling out a significant discount to counteract a recent sales lump. So starting the 26th of August, days away. Those of you listening live, today is the 21st of August. So you've got five days. Oh no. You can hold off for five days.

Starting August 26. Digital customers, they had this big phone call. This is what they came up with. Digital customers, starting August 26, can purchase any foot-long sub for $6.99. For two weeks, you're going to be able to do this. This move is part of Subway strategy to regain traffic

as the fast food industry faces declining sales. I got news for you, Subway. This ain't going to work. You should have added me to the call. I should have added me to the call. Put me on the email chain. I could have told you. You're going to do what?

That's going to be a deal online for two weeks? Yeah, that's, I mean, I guess maybe you're going to up a few of the sales. The ad campaign will be sign up for the subway app, I guess. And so you get the footlong on the subway app, probably what they're searching for. But, I mean, a foot long at Subway, according to this story, typically costs $14.

That's not the subway I remember. That is not the subway. And then they, and then they, didn't they start cutting the fresh meat up front because they were telling you how fresh the meat was, but then it wasn't the whole day, it was only a shift. It's weird. Their whole advertising thing has been weird.

You know what? They lost big time when Jared. I mean, they had a big thing. They had a good thing going with Jared. They really did. And I like Jared. I met him several times. I even, I told you, I let him use my computer before.

And that was probably an issue. But they, I mean, they banked a lot on him. And he was a force for them. He truly was a force for them. And to have what happened to, him happen, that hurt. Oh, I believe they're still paying for that, honestly. I really do. So we'll see how the, how Subway comes out of that. I know it's been a long time. I know. And we've moved down. We've got Patrick Mahones doing commercials. We're in the NFL.

I know. We've moved on. But I think that puts such a dent on Subway because I, who thinks, I can't think a Subway without thinking of Jared. And I thought he, you know, I like Jared. He was a good guy. I met him and talked to him several times. in the real world and there weren't any little kids involved so there wasn't there wasn't any kids involved anyway I just I really that really hurt them

so I don't think that just a two week campaign for a mobile app purchase of a foot long sandwich is going to pull you out of the pull you out of the deltrums but hey what do I know nothing is what I know nothing

I wasn't on the email chain I wasn't on the phone call. I see where a pharmaceutical kingpin or giant Eli Lilly, their weight loss drug, terseptide, was found to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 94% among people with excess weight. So you could pound down all kinds of subways and still take the Eli Lilly drug.

So the three-year study, the longest completed study of the drug involved observing the effects of the weekly injectable in more than 1,000 patients with pre-diabetes who were obese or overweight. The study showed that those who took the highest weekly dose, 15 milligrams, saw a one week, well, once a week dose, 15 milligrams,

saw nearly 23% reduction in body weight on average and a 94% reduced risk of developing diabetes compared with pre-diabetics who took a placebo and lost 2% of their body weight on average. Wow. So terseppatide is the active ingredient in Zeppbound, and it's diabetes version Manjero, both of which have gained popularity due to their aid in weight loss. Yeah, huge. Eli Lilly is now the world's most valuable pharmaceutical drug maker worth $900 billion.

And I don't think that Mungero has hurt them at all. I believe that has been a bonus to the bottom line of Eli Lilly. So keep going. I don't need to worry about it. I can just take it. Mungero. An OZempic. I wonder, now we know you get OZempic butt.

I wonder if you get like Mungero butt if there isn't such a thing. There hasn't been, there hasn't been, I don't think, a stuff. on people getting Mungerald butt. So, see if that actually is the case. All right, so let's get out of here. Here's a thought for the day. It's not really a joke, but it's just a thought

for the day. Something to help you out. If you've asked yourself why the Gen Xers are always mad, well, according to this, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection and then replace that with a

CD collection that we slowly replaced with an MP3 collection and now we need a subscription to listen to music. Think about it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
